In case you were still skeptical about the Nexus Tablet making its appearance at Google I/O this month, yet another rumored ASUS source has confirmed the imminent launch of the oft-fabled tablet. An ASUS rep at Computex told Android Authority will indeed make its debut appearance at Google I/O at the end of the month.

The most popular Android tablets at the moment are running heavily modified Android software and are being marketed as e-readers. It’s good to see Google legitimately putting their weight behind the tablet market.

True! It’ll increase Google’s and Android’s share of the market. Especially if it comes with GPS given that apple is going for its own maps. But I still would love to see a high-end 10+ inch nexus tablet from google. Personally for me, the 7 inch tablet is not much bigger than my phone. I need a 10-inch one to fill up the space between my phone and computer. Now I’m waiting for a new galaxy tab or else it’s going to be transformer prime for me.

Availability will be the issue. I really hope that we, Europeans, will be able to buy it at the same price. I will even pay for transportation (it would be cheaper anyway than to buy it from my country or UK).

Inexpensive, Google-supported Nexus tablet with competitive specs? Yes, please. Look for the dev community to support the hell out of this one, also! Watch the amount of tablet supporting apps skyrocket in the coming months!

Any chance it will have removable SD memory, since it’s labeled a Nexus? I hope it has bluetooth and at least a physical on/off button hopefully physical volume buttons. Front/back camera would be nice too.

Yey, Nexus Tablet! Interesting what Jellybean will be bringing to tablets (and phones later on).
Yey, 7″! This size is perfect for me.
Yey, Asus! The transformer series is great but I do hope Asus gives us something new despite the pricetag.

This will be my second tablet purchase. First one was a Chinese ePad with Android 2.1. Reportedly it featured 1Ghz processor and 512Mb RAM. But it was so slow. Also there was a screen backlight defect. You had to squeeze one of the corners to keep the backlight.
I gave it to my nephews. I don’t know what they did to it but I don’t see it anymore.))))

This should be pretty awesome! The Google Tablet market is boxed into skinned UI’s right now. You’re either on a Nook or a Kindle. The Transformer is interesting but I’ve never even seen one in person. This should be a shot in the arm that GTabs need.

A tablet of this quality, at such an attractive price-point, is long overdue. Hopefully we’ll see different sized Nexus branded tablets (7.5 – 9in) in the near future, to cater to those who need a little more screen real estate in a tablet. Nonetheless, this is a wonderful start.

If they can price a Tegra 3 tablet that cheap, then a 10 inch shouldn’t be too expensive either. I’ll wait for that. Mostly looking forward to the next version of Android and/or the rumored Nexus phone lineup at Google I/O.

I’ve been looking forward to a lower-priced tablet ($800 just isn’t worth it to me, tablets are cool, but they’re simply not powerful enough for me to be anything but a toy – the programs I use for work would never fubnction on even a highly-specced tab). $149-$199 is great! Even if I’m disappointed for some reason (which i don’t think I will be, especially at that price point), it’s only 200 bucks, and I’m sure I’d have no problem selling it.
I’m interested in this tablet for a lot of reasons, not least of which is to see what Android 4.1 has to offer (if it is indeed launching with 4.1), how much dev-community support and custom ROMs will be out, etc.
I wonder how much of a loss Google and/or Asus is taking per unit. Video game console manufacturers almost always take a loss on each console sold initially (until production costs go down, etc.), but they do this knowing that they’ll make their money back on games. If the rumored specs are true, I don’t see these being produced for $150-$200 each in any country.
I already told my son that this is what I want for a late Father’s Day gift. I’m looking forward to it!

I’m a note owner, and this is quite a conundrum…. I think I am going to have to just bite the bullet on a 10in, 7 in is only 2 inches more than what I have and I just don’t think I can rationalize buying a device just for 2 more inches, lol.
